In the year of its 30th anniversary, the Serralves Foundation, in collaboration with the Portuguese State’s Environmental Fund and with support from Ascendi, will inaugurate this important new structure, which will further reinforce the Foundation’s important role in the fields of education, environmental sustainability and protection of biodiversity.

The construction of this impressive tree-top walk, which enables visitors to observe and study Serralves’ fauna and flora, also offers a special opportunity to celebrate Serralves Park and the multiple activities held there every year.

Designed by the architect Carlos Castanheira, in collaboration with the architect Álvaro Siza, the project will have a strong impact on education related to environmental conservation and protection of biodiversity, and will foster new opportunities to connect with science.

There will be free admission throughout the day, with fruit juices and water offered by the Super Bock Group

The International Day of Monuments and Sites was established by ICOMOS on 18 April 1982 and was approved by UNESCO the following year. This commemorative event aims to raise the awareness of citizens about the diversity and vulnerability of heritage sites, as well as the efforts involved in the protection and appreciation of such sites.

In 2018, the theme of the International Day of Monuments and Sites is "Cultural Heritage: from generation to generation." The Directorate General of Cultural Heritage (DGPC), in collaboration with ICOMOS Portugal, aims to disseminate this theme in order to foster inter-generational dialogue, as a tool to increase knowledge, development and diversity.

In order to safeguard cultural heritage it is necessary to strengthen identity-based ties, foster dialogue between tradition and progress, assume the values of memory as levers of the future, stimulate intergenerational transfer of knowledge and reinforce information sharing, raising the awareness of young people, learning from older people, fostering intergenerational communication, learning more, preserving better, and cementing the importance of culture and heritage as a unifying element for communities.

7:00 p.m.

In commemoration of the International Day of Monuments and Sites, the Serralves Foundation organizes the debate: "Marques de Aguiar: constructing contemporary Porto, 1955-2015".

The International Day for Monuments and Sites was established by ICOMOS on 18 April 1982 and approved by UNESCO in the following year. This day aims to raise citizens’ awareness concerning the diversity and vulnerability of heritage sites, and the efforts associated to their protection and valorisation.

The theme of the International Day for Monuments and Sites in 2017 is "Cultural Heritage and Sustainable Tourism". In a period of significant economic-cultural globalization, major social transformations and an exponential increase in tourism levels, safeguarding, study, interpretation and presentation of heritage sites and the cultural diversity of territories and countries constitute a key vector of tourism, since such initiatives valorise cultural differences and enhance knowledge and respect between peoples.

Access: free entrance to the Museum and Park, all day, including the Joan Miró exhibition.

Celebrating International Day for Monuments and Sites, in continuity with the topics covered by the exhibition "Álvaro Siza Vieira: Visions of Alhambra”, the Serralves Foundation presents a conversation on architectural heritage and contemporary intervention. For this purpose, various institutions will be represented, linked to the promotion and preservation of buildings and protected locations, debating the historical, pedagogical and socio-political contexts they face in their activity: from classification of the work of the architect Álvaro Siza to (re)building and gentrification of consolidated territories. The expanded tourism use of the Alhambra gardens, the Venice canals or the streets of Porto reveals architecture to be the great mediator of urban dialectics and cultural dynamics that we consider as Cultural Heritage of Humanity.

GUIDED TOURS TO THE PARK

The Serralves Park, in view of its design and period of construction, is not only a national and international reference of landscape art from the first half of the twentieth century. It is also a space of great ecological value where, for example, tree species have grown to truly exceptional sizes, in particular remarkable specimens of beech, liquidambar, eucalyptus, pine, oaks and chestnut trees.

Heritage - always a discovery

The General Directorate of Cultural Heritage is
proposing the theme "Heritage - always a discovery" for the European
Heritage Days 2014. The goal is to draw attention to the constantly new
attractions offered by Cultural Heritage, which is always being updated through
new knowledge, perspectives and interpretations, in line with the evolution of
changing mentalities, ideas and fashions. This topic also aims to highlight the
tremendous potential of Cultural Heritage, whether built or immaterial, and its
enormous importance to ensuring balanced and harmonious social and economic
development and the overall role of culture in society. The permanent
rediscovery of Heritage also implies a constant rediscovery of our roots,
references and identity. It is therefore crucial to raise citizens’ awareness
in order to learn more about Heritage and foster its protection and recovery.
